My daughter and I have pledged not to eat fish, especially the very large threatened species. We broke our pledge today for a few slices of kingfish. Everyone falls off the wagon sometime. We will try to be better, and continue to hope that enough people will be conscious of the need to have a moratorium on fishing the large pelagic species so that their schools can rebound to previous numbers. In this way, we may all enjoy the occasional slice of fish without endangering species.
Kingfish, 6-8 slices
Lime, juice of half
Garlic, 3 cloves crushed
Ginger, thumb-sized piece, chopped
Tomato, large, diced
Hot pepper, half, without seeds, chopped
Pimento, 2, chopped
Thyme, two sprigs
Salt, half teaspoon or to taste
Olive oil, 3 tablespoons
Tomato ketchup, half cup
Rinse fish with lime juice and water. Drain well. Heat oil in large shallow pan over medium to low heat. Add garlic, ginger, tomato, peppers. When the seasonings are sizzling and soft, add fish with sprinkling of salt. Cook for two or three minutes on one side then turn over. Spread tomato ketchup over the slices and cover. Cook for 10 minutes. Turn slices over once more. Reduce heat to low. Add thyme leaves. Add a little water if more sauce is needed.

This looks amazing as usual! I can't believe you two fell off the wagon!! I will send you pics as I cook some of these dishes.
ReplyDeleteI won't worry too much about falling off the wagon,....they are farming successfully alot of sea water fish,...a good example is salmon, shrimp, oysters,etc plentiful and less expensive...and they are even trying with tuna and other blue fish,..so king fish has a chance.
ReplyDeletein Italy they make also a stew fish,..called 'zuppa di pesce',...it's more a soup,....no ginger,...but also fresh tomatoes or paste, whole seedless olives, and they add shrimp and squid with the slices of fish like grouper or crapeaux fish, simmer with white wine until all the juices come out and makes a broth. It's great for dipping garlic bread or on pasta.
But, it's yummy stewed kingfish too!!
That zuppa sounds scrumptious - a tomato-y bouillabaise! I can make it without shrimp!
